Hoyer Statement on 2014 House Floor Schedule

WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) issued the following statement today after the House legislative schedule for calendar year 2014 was released:

“Today, House Republican leaders released the 2014 legislative schedule. The House should take full advantage of the days we are in session next year to engage in bipartisan compromise toward achieving the results our constituents expect from us: creating jobs, setting our fiscal house in order, and investing in the long-term competitiveness of our economy. There is still much unfinished work from the 113th Congress’s first session, and I hope we can work together to make progress on time-critical legislative items this autumn – and enter the new year with the spirit of bipartisan cooperation that the American people deserve from their representatives.”
